@Guido: Try any of the threads on fees. RANDOM BUT SERIOUS POINT ALERT … In terms of subcultures on the UK blogosphere the right wing sites tend to have long comment threads where as the vibrancy/shrillness (delete as appropriate) on the left is found on Twitter, a function of Twitter being zeitgeist when the left finally got its act together online. Controversial lefty articles are mobbed by right wingers in the comments but conservative bloggers will find themselves attacked on Twitter.
